The entrance of your home is arguably the most important part of your home. Other than your entrance door, the curb is the first thing you see when you arrive home at the end of a busy day. It can be very aggravating to be welcomed by a messy and ugly entrance. Your visitors will also form an impression on you based on how welcoming your home’s curb is. Finally, if you are planning to sell your home, you should be aware that curb appeal increases home value so it is in your best interest to have a beautiful curb.

If you are looking for ideas to improve curb appeal, then read on for our best curb appeal landscaping ideas.

Custom Paver Walkway

One of the best examples of how landscaping can improve curb appeal is to add a paver walkway. Pavers can be used to create a beautiful and elegant pathway from your entrance door to the garage or even across your front yard. The paved walkway can be creatively installed to highlight some of the best features of your home such as an elegant old oak tree a lovely viewpoint or even a beautiful front door.

Other than using pavers for walkways, you can use the stones to create a beautiful outdoor living space such as a patio. This would be a great place to relax or entertain visitors but at the same time, it is a low maintenance option for creating a beautiful curb for your home.

Xeriscape Landscape

If you live in a dry area or you enjoy being green then xeriscape landscaping is one of the best curb appeal landscape ideas for you. It involves the use of drought-resistant plants or perennials, decorative stone beds, concrete, pavers, or sculptures to beautify your front yard and back yard. Xeriscape landscaping allows you to create a beautiful curb on a budget and your landscape will stay beautiful with little maintenance.

Decorate With Potted Plants

Potted plants are an easy way to increase the curb appeal of your home. Place them by your front door or along your driveways and walkways. The best thing about potted plants is that they come in a variety of colors. So you can easily personalize your home according to your taste. Potted plants are also easy to move around. So you can move them if you want to decorate differently.

Pressure Wash Your Entrance And Home

Mold and algae on your outside walls as well as stains on your driveway contribute to giving your home an unkempt and uncared for appearance. Another of our tips for curb appeal is to pressure wash your walkways and outside walls. This helps to remove all dirt and stains. Your home will immediately look and feel refreshed at very little cost to you. Plan a schedule of pressure washing these surfaces at least once a month to keep your curb looking beautiful.
